WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
Originally released in 1977 by Vanguard. For this sextet/septet session, flugelhornist Clark Terry mostly drew musicians from the big band that he occasionally fronted during the mid-'70s. A chance to hear tenor-saxophonist Ernie Wilkins (better-known as an arranger) stretching out as a soloist. Other sidemen include pianist Ronnie Mathews, bassist Victor Sproeles and drummer Ed Soph with guest spots for pianist Walter Bishop and guitarist Roland Prince. Particularly strong repertoire with classic ballads such as "Misty" and "Autumn Leaves" alternating with Clark Terry's three colourful originals. 7 tracks.
